description: Learn how to use any OpenAI-like compatible endpoint with Agno 
---

Many providers support the OpenAI API format. Use the `OpenAILike` model to access them by replacing the `base_url`.

## Example

<CodeGroup>

```python agent.py
from os import getenv
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai.like import OpenAILike

agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAILike(
        id="mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1",
        api_key=getenv("TOGETHER_API_KEY"),
        base_url="https://api.together.xyz/v1",
    )
)

# Print the response in the terminal
agent.print_response("Share a 2 sentence horror story.")
```

</CodeGroup>

| `name`       | `str`              | `"OpenAILike"`                 | The name of the model                                                 |
| `provider`   | `str`              | `"OpenAILike"`                 | The provider of the model                                             |
| `api_key`    | `Optional[str]`    | `None`                         | The API key for the service (defaults to OPENAI_API_KEY env var)     |
| `base_url`   | `Optional[str]`    | `None`                         | The base URL for the API service                                      |

`OpenAILike` extends the OpenAI-compatible interface and supports all parameters from [OpenAIChat](/concepts/models/openai). Simply change the `base_url` and `api_key` to point to your preferred OpenAI-compatible service.
